Many avid concertgoers continue to grapple with questions about how to enjoy and actively listen to music. How can I tell if this was a good performance? Should I be doing more homework to prepare myself for the performance? How can I judge the quality of the ensemble giving the concert? Is there a special way to listen to modern music? This class is designed to answer these questions and more, helping participants to appreciate the artistry of great performers and composers.

Stephen Kleiman holds an M.M. in music composition from the University of Michigan and was an orchestra conductor in Europe and music director of the National Chamber Orchestra in Washington, D.C.
